A self hosted Wordpress site, which allows me to have more features, and gives me more flexibility in the long run. I was able to get my own domain as Inhabitedkitchen, which makes the transfer easier...

Don't worry, this site will still be up, if you have linked to it. (I'm still tidying up the links on the new site...) But all the posts have moved over, and all new activity will be there.

Including a description of this delicious lunch I packed for Rich to travel...

About Me

This blog has moved to inhabitedkitchen.com I hope to see you there!
I live in a Manhattan apartment, with a man and two cats, and a very small kitchen. I enjoy cooking and food, which I believe should enhance health and happiness.
I cook primarily with fresh, local food, believing that it tastes best, as well as being the best choice for nutrition, and for the world.
I talk about cooking with many people, both in my work and in my personal life. Too many people, I feel, have been convinced, by many factors in our culture, of a kind of Cooking Mystique. They believe that *either* you cook as a passion (or hobby) *or* you barely cook at all. The first, they think, require obscure or expensive ingredients, all the best tools, and lots of time and expertise - the second, a few convenience foods, and a takeout menu.
I'm here to argue for - and possibly introduce you to - the middle ground. The incredible ease of a roast chicken, a few tricks to do when you have a little time that give more options later, and everything that lets me put a good home cooked meal on the table when I've been on my feet all day.
